Hey Rob!
Sorry this comment is a little late–a very delayed flight set me back in both work and health. I think you’re doing a great job on the site overall. Very interesting content and good range of topics within your subject area, which isn’t quite as broad as some of the others.
I think one of your best posts has actually been the “Honk for Peace” post - really interesting story, good commentary, lots of good links, and (most importantly for me) nice and short. Which brings me to my first overall suggestion for the blog: keep the length down. Personally, if I’m reading something online (especially if it’s a blog), I want the posts to be short and sweet. If I want to read more, I’ll click the links.
In that vein, I’d have to say one of the posts I think could be improved would be the Oklahoma petitioners post. It just seems long, and so do the block quotes.
One thing you’ve done a couple of times that I’d love to see more of is including images. This really spices things up and entices me to keep reading.
One suggestion: for some of the longer posts, you might want to do a jump. That way, people can click to read more if they want to, and it might be more intriguing, too.
Keep it up!
Anna
